Frommer's Review

This is a real discovery: an affordable, lively place that serves authentic island cuisine. With an exterior that's painted a bright shade of blue, and jammed between two more substantial neighbors, it's one of the few restaurants in Barbados occupying a traditional chattel house (a rectangular clapboard-sided cabin that's small enough and light enough that in the old days could be easily moved atop rolling logs from one location to another). The broiled T-bones are juicy and perfectly flavored; there's always an offering of fresh fish; and vegetarians can enjoy stir-fried vegetables with noodles. Other highlights include blackened fish, the local version of a spicy West Indian curry, and a zesty jerk chicken salad.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
